Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to electromechanical transducing along a path and more particularly concerns an along-path controllable transducer for actively absorbing energy from a vehicle wheel assembly moving over a rough surface so as to facilitate significantly reducing forces transmitted to the vehicle body supported on the wheel assembly.
  • a typical active control system uses wheel forces, car accelerations, or other vehicle parameters to determine when to open/close valves which allow fluid to flow, thereby moving the piston of the actuator in such a manner as to absorb shock.
  • FR-A-1418751 discloses an active vehicle suspension in which a "voice-coil" type motor is used as an along-path controllable electromechanical transducer for providing a controllable force between a sprung and an unsprung mass; and having a suspension interconnecting the sprung and unsprung masses; a source of a control signal; and a controller which controls the transducer in response to the control signal.
  • an electromechanical transducer comprising: a first member electromagnetically coupled to at least a portion of a second member, the first member and the second member being relatively slidable along a path having spaced end points; the first member having a plurality of substantially contiguous windings each for producing a magnetic field having a significant component orthogonal to the path and penetrating the second member; the second member including at least one element for interacting with the magnetic field; the first and second members being substantially symmetrical about a surface parallel to the path; characterised in that: the second member has a plurality of substantially contiguous permanent magnets of alternate polarity along the path for establishing a magnetic field that reacts with the first member magnetic field to produce force along the path.
  • Fig. 1 there is shown a combined block-diagrammatic representation of a typical prior art wheel suspension.
  • the sprung mass of the vehicle typically comprising about one-fourth the mass of the vehicle including the frame and components supported thereon, is connected to wheel assembly 12 by spring 13 in parallel with shock absorber 14.
  • Wheel support assembly 12 carries on axle 12A wheel 15 including hub 15B and tire 15C.
  • the wheel, brake assembly and wheel support assembly are characterized by an unsprung mass M w .
  • the brake assembly may be a part of the unsprung mass.
  • Tire 15C has a compliance C t .
  • Tire 15C is shown supported on road 16.
  • Spring 13 is characterized by a compliance C s
  • shock absorber 14 is characterized by a mechanical resistance R SH .
  • the shock absorber is replaced by an actuator which responds according to commands from a control system (not shown).
  • V R represents the rate of change of the elevation of the road at the point of contact with the surface of tire 15C and is applied to the tire compliance 15C' in series with the spring compliance 13' in series with the vehicle sprung mass portion 11'.
  • the spring compliance 13' is shunted by the shock resistance 14'.
  • the series combination of compliance 13' in shunt with the shock resistance 14' and the sprung mass 11' is shunted by the wheel unsprung mass 15'.
  • This mechanical circuit is characterized by resonances where the tire compliance C T resonates with the unsprung mass M w , and the spring compliance, C s , resonates with the sprung mass, M c .
  • Fig. 3 there is shown a combined block-diagrammatic representation of a system 20 according to EP-A-0415780 incorporating an active vehicle suspension actuator and a damping assembly.
  • Sprung mass portion 11 is connected to wheel support member 12 by active suspension actuator 22.
  • Active suspension actuator 22 is electrically controlled by electronic controller 24.
  • a damping assembly including damping mass 26 is connected to wheel support member 12 by damping spring 28 in parallel with damping resistance 30, which may be a conventional shock absorber.
  • Fig. 3A is a schematic circuit diagram of the system of Fig. 3.
  • Active suspension actuator 22 includes linear electric motor 32 (shown in Fig. 4), i.e., a device which converts electrical energy into mechanical work along a path, typically a straight line, without an intermediate rotary motion.
  • Linear electric motor 32 is a controllable force source which for a constant control signal, maintains a constant force independent of position or velocity between the wheel assembly and the chassis. Any variation in force that is desired may be effected by correspondingly varying the control signal.
  • electromechanical transducer While it is convenient to refer to the electromechanical transducer as an electric motor, it is to be understood that electric motor 32 embodying this transducer may also function as a generator to convert mechanical work into electrical energy that may charge the vehicle battery or otherwise usefully energize vehicle electrical components.
  • motor 32 has multiple poles; i.e., the motor employs a magnetic field structure, produced by e.g., permanent magnets, field windings or induction, which has two or more field reversals over the normal range of travel.
  • Motor 32 is preferably arranged to maximize the mechanical power it can provide for a given electrical power input while minimizing moving mass, e.g., by using salient-poles.
  • a separate load leveling system e.g., a conventional air-bag system having a compressor, height sensor and controllable valve, may be employed.
  • a load leveling system e.g., a conventional air-bag system having a compressor, height sensor and controllable valve.
  • the mass of the motor part connected to the wheel support member is as low as practical.
  • Electronic controller 24 for linear electric motor 32 includes commutation and cogging correction circuit 102 and power processor 104.
  • Cogging forces are rectilinear forces, dependent on position, between relatively movable motor members with no current applied to the motor.
  • Motor 32 includes position sensor 106 which detects the relative position between relatively movable motor members.
  • Correction circuit 102 includes summer 110 which adds the commanded signal with the output of anti-cog compensator 112, which is a function of the output from position sensor 106.
  • the output of position sensor 106 also energizes commutation waveform generator 114, which receives the output of summer 110 and outputs three command control signals, I a , I b , I c , to power processor 104.
  • Power processor 104 includes three switching current mode control circuits 116, 118, 120 which provide the inputs to linear motor 32.
  • FIG. 5 there is shown a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of a linear motor according to the invention.
  • This linear motor includes an inside member 131 of relatively low mass relatively movable with respect to an outside member 132.
  • the exposed end of inside member 131 includes a bushing 133 connected to the unsprung mass, such as comprising the wheel assembly.
  • Outside member 132 is pivotally connected at the end opposite bushing 133 to support member 134 attached to the sprung mass, such as the vehicle body.
  • Dust cover 135 helps protect inside member 131 from dust.
  • FIG. 6 there is shown a perspective view of the linear motor of Fig. 5. with side cap 136 (Fig. 5) and most of dust cover 135 removed to expose additional structural details.
  • Outside member mounting frame 137 is connected to outside member pole assembly 141.
  • Inside member 131 includes a number of rectangular magnets such as 142 and a sensor magnet holder 143 related to position sensor 106.
  • Outside member 132 also includes coils, such as 144, and linear bearings, such as 145, that engage a bearing rail, such as 146 and 147.
  • FIG. 7 there is shown a perspective view of the linear motor of Figs. 5 and 6 with outside member pole assembly 141 also removed to illustrate the coils, such as 144.
  • FIG. 8 there is shown a view through section 8-8 of Fig. 5.
  • This embodiment of a linear motor has a number of features and advantages.
  • the relative force between inside member 131 and outside member 132 is related to the magnitude and polarity of the currents in the coils.
  • the linear motor may thus be regarded as a source of electrically controllable relative force between sprung and unsprung masses.
  • Sensor magnet holder 143 preferably carries an array of contiguous permanent magnet elements with alternating magnetic polarity to facilitate using a magnetic pickup head to sense flux changes as relative displacement occurs between the inside and outside members.
  • a Gray code arrangement provides a digital signal representative of the absolute displacement between inside and outside members relative to a reference position.
  • a feature of the invention is that motor 32 may at times function as a generator and convert mechanical work produced by relative movement between the suspended and unsuspended masses into electrical energy. This electrical energy is typically returned to the power supply for the switching amplifiers connected to the windings. These switching amplifiers typically include diodes across controllable power semiconductor switching devices such as transistors, FET's, IGBT's or SCR's so that energy may flow from motor 32 into the power supply through the shunting diodes. This feature effectively reduces the electrical power required to operate the system.
  • Another feature of the invention resides in the ability to short-circuit the windings and thereby allow linear motor 32 to function as a passive damper or shock absorber. It may be desirable to effect this mode of operation when the active suspension system is malfunctioning or it is desired to reduce electrical energy consumption. Short-circuiting may be effected by operating one or more relays having normally open contacts across the motor windings. Alternatively, the power supply for the switching circuits may be crowbarred so that current may flow through the shunting diodes and thereby effectively provide magnetic damping.
  • a feature of the inside and outside members is that there is core symmetry so that there is a neutral bearing force.
  • the first and second members are substantially symmetrical about a surface parallel to the path of relative motion therebetween.
  • the first and second elements are substantially symmetrical about a plane midway between planes tangential to extreme broad surfaces of the members and parallel to the path of relative motion.
  • This symmetrical structure helps minimize the relative force between the first and second members orthogonal to the path of relative motion, this orthogonal force being significantly less than the maximum relative force between the first and second members in a direction along the path. Typically this orthogonal force is very low and nearly zero.
  • the use of a multiple phase system helps improve efficiency; that is, provides a relatively high ratio of mechanical work (force X distance) to input electrical energy.
